UNFPA is the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency. It's mission is to ensure sexual and reproductive rights and choices for all, especially women and young people, so that they can access high-quality sexual and reproductive health services, including voluntary family planning, maternal health care and comprehensive sexuality education.
The Asia-Pacific region is highly vulnerable to disasters, conflicts, and climate change, which particularly affect women and girls through limited reproductive health services and increased gender-based violence. UNFPA's Asia and the Pacific Regional Office (APRO) in Bangkok works with country offices and partners to strengthen emergency preparedness, humanitarian response, and recovery efforts, while supporting regional coordination, policy integration, and capacity building across Asia and the Pacific.

- Support emergency preparedness and implementation of Minimum Preparedness Actions (MPAs) at regional and country level.
- Assist country offices in humanitarian response, including policies, funding proposals, reporting, and project monitoring.
- Prepare humanitarian updates, briefing notes, and knowledge products for UNFPA and inter-agency coordination.
- Organize and support regional capacity-building initiatives, meetings, and emergency staff deployments.
- Advocate for the integration of sexual and reproductive health and gender-based violence priorities in disaster and humanitarian strategies.
